The feedback here in Stillorgan Library has been very positive, and we will definitely invite her back again soon.’ – Carmel Kelly, Librarian, Stillorgan Library, 2018

‘Amanda’s visit, and the fascinating, educational and fun nature of her talk was thoroughly enjoyed by all the children present, and the interactions during the morning provided the children with a wonderful opportunity to learn from Amanda, a celebrated author, a marvellous opportunity which the children utilised and appreciated. All in all, the visit provided an enriching cultural experience for the children, an event which the library was delighted to host.’ – Alan Dunne, Librarian, Donabate-Portrane Community Library, 2018
